Accession # P29965 |
| N-term |
|
C-term |
|
| Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE
> 95% as determined by HPLC |
| Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
| Biological Activity |
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized CD40 Ligand/TNFSF5 Trimer, His & Flag, Human at 5μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate can bind Human CD40, hFc Tag. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
| Expression System |
HEK293 |
| Theoretical Molecular Weight |
52.4 kDa |
| Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 55 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
| Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
| Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Target Background |
CD40 ligand or CD40L, also called CD154, is a protein that is primarily expressed on activated T cells and is a member of the TNF superfamily of molecules. It binds to CD40 (protein) on antigen-presenting cells (APC), which leads to many effects depending on the target cell type. In total CD40L has three binding partners: CD40, α5β1 integrin and αIIbβ3. CD154 acts as a costimulatory molecule and is particularly important on a subset of T cells called T follicular helper cells. |
